Biography

Joanna completed her undergraduate degree and PhD at the School of Sport and Exercises. Her PhD thesis examined psychosocial factors, physical activity and antibody response to vaccination in healthy and HIV positive populations.

She was appointed as a post doctoral research fellow in the School in 2011 and is currently investigating whether the time of vaccination can affect antibody response to the annual influenza vaccination in older adults. This research is funded by the Medical Research Council as part of the Lifelong Heath and Wellbeing initiative.
